Looking for point-to-point Ethernet connection

We are looking for a vendor who makes a Ethernet device that allows two
Ethernet stations to be privately connected at the AUI interface (15
pin transceiver cable) level.  That is, we want to make a
point-to-point connection for only two machines with Ethernet
controllers, but without having to provide a pair of tranceivers and a
hunk of thick cable, or a Delni.

The device must be completely hardware/software transparent, that is,
the machines connceted to it will behave exactly as if they were
connected to a real Ethernet cable.

If you are such a vendor,  or if you know of any, please respond via e-mail.
(Might as well post a reply also - I know of other people who are looking
for something like this.)
